JMF Audio | Munich 2023

May 26, 2023 Marc Phillips 1

Vertere Acoustics Mystic Moving Coil Cartridge and Phono-1 MKII Preamp | REVIEW

April 4, 2021 Dave McNair 6

Vertere Acoustics MG-1 Turntable and SG-1 Tonearm | REVIEW

March 5, 2021 Dave McNair 7

Denafrips Pontus II DAC | REVIEW

February 12, 2021 Dave McNair 8

I’ve been on a hot streak lately with getting components to review that have sounded excellent despite the current difficulties in hearing something beforehand. For a reviewer, it’s one of the many great things about […]

Marc’s Capital Audiofest Wrap-Up | CAF 2019

November 24, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Marc’s Capital Audiofest Wrap-Up | CAF 2019

Much of my Capital Audiofest wrap-up has already been telegraphed. I talked about my favorite rooms in The Occasional Podcast, and I’ve hinted as much in these show reports. You’ve probably already guessed that this […]

Marc’s Capital Audiofest Preview | CAF 2019

October 28, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Marc’s Capital Audiofest Preview | CAF 2019

I thought a 2019 Capital Audiofest preview from me was necessary, since so many products featured at the show are being reviewed (or have been reviewed) by both Part-Time Audiophile and The Occasional. This is […]

THE Show 2019

Marc’s Wrap Up | T.H.E. Show 2019

July 14, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Marc’s Wrap Up | T.H.E. Show 2019

After T.H.E. Show 2019, I did something that I should have done at High-End 2019 in Munich–I stayed a couple of extra days after the show ended. A good friend of mine called me just […]

The Voice That Is! Presents Vertere Acoustics

June 9, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on The Voice That Is! Presents Vertere Acoustics

Dealer events and audiophile society meetings can be tricky when they’re held in hotel conference rooms–I know because I did my share of them over the last few years. These rooms tend to be big, […]

Friday’s Highlights | T.H.E. Show 2019

June 9, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Friday’s Highlights | T.H.E. Show 2019

Long Beach will never be mistaken for Munich, but I do have reasons for wanting to come out to T.H.E. Show 2019 in Southern California. I was born and raised in very nearby Orange County, […]

Video: Interview with turntable legend Touraj Moghaddam of Vertere Acoustics

March 4, 2017 Rafe Arnott 6

Turntable designs are as different, and varied as suit designs. Both have a basic pattern that they must follow, but once those have been established, the sky’s pretty much the limit. I’ve seen all manner of […]
